A total of 33 sixes were hit over small boundaries of Sharjah yesterday in the fourth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR).

The batting friendly track at Sharjah was anything but Abu Dhabi and Dubai where the batsman found it difficult to get going. The perimeter was smaller and batsmen went all guns blazing and over 400 runs were scored.

Ironically, Archer, whose overall ODI score is 27 scored the same amount of runs in one over of the Indian Premier League (IPL). And his explosive innings invited several reactions on twitter.

Just as Chennai Super Kings thought they could restrict Rajasthan below 200 after dismissing Sanju Samson and Steve Smith, Archer came in and destroyed Lungi Ngidi. The English speedster scored 27 runs in the last over and helped Rajasthan cruise past the 200-mark.

Archer hit four consecutive sixes in the last over. Ngidi conceded 24 runs in the first two balls after bowling two no balls and Archer utilised it to its fullest by smashing all of them out of the park. He also plucked important wickets of Faf du Plessis, who threatened to take CSK home.

Archer’s heroics attracted some funny reactions, memes and trolls from twitter. The fact that he had predicted the same in 2015 garnered more reactions on social media.

Here are some witty memes and reaction post Archer’s performance yesterday.
